UD-501 GETTING STARTED
You can use the UD-501 with any application that plays audio on your Mac or Windows computer, such as Windows Media Player or Apple iTunes. To play high-resolution audio, however, you will need specialised software. You will also need to install the driver on Windows, available here. (Mac OS X sees the device without a driver.)
